Coming into force

The Welsh Ministers, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1973(1) and now vested in them by section 59(5) of the Government of Wales Act 2006(2), and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972(3), and with the consent of the Treasury, make the following Regulations.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the references to European Community instruments in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
